Welcome to Mon River QUEST
The Mon QUEST is the West Virginia Water Research Institute's (WVWRI) water quality monitoring program for the entire Monongahela River Basin (MRB).
This site serves as a platform to display resultant data collected by both WVWRI technical staff and participating watershed groups. Valuable information about the current water quality is provided and will give researchers, recreationists, policy makers, regulating agencies and industry a better overall picture of the health of the Mon River Basin.
